I was ten when my father first sent me flowers. I had been taking ballet lessons for four months, and the school was giving its yearly performance. As a member of the beginners’ chorus group, I was surprised to hear my name called out at the end of the show along with the leading dancers and to find my arms full of red roses. I can still feel myself standing on that stage, seeing my father’s big smiles.

Those roses were the first of many bunches accompanying all the milestones in my life. Getting all those roses was wonderful, but they brought a sense of embarrassment. I enjoyed them, but I also felt they were too much for my small achievements.

Not for my father. He did everything in a big way. Once, when mother told him I needed a new party dress, he brought home a dozen. His behavior often left us without money for other more important things. Sometimes I would be angry with him.

Then came my 16th birthday. It was not a happy occasion. I was fat and had no boyfriend. And my well-meaning father furthered my suffering by giving me a party. As I entered the dining room, there on the table next to my cake was a huge bunch of flowers, bigger than any before.

I wanted to hide. Now everyone would think my father had sent flowers because I had no boyfriend to do it. Sweet 16, and I felt like crying. But my best friend, Jenny, whispered, “Boy, you’re lucky to have a father like that.”

As the years passed, other occasions—birthdays, awards, graduations—were marked with Dad’s flowers. Those flowers symbolized his pride, and my success. As my fortunes grew, my father’s health became worse, but his gifts of flowers continued until he died. I covered his coffin with the largest, reddest roses I could find.

Often during the dozen years since, I felt an urge to buy a big bunch to fill the living room, but I never did. I knew it would not be the same.

Then one birthday, the doorbell rang. I was feeling blue because I was alone. My husband and my two daughters were away. My 10-year-old son, Tommy, had run out earlier with a “see you later”. So I was surprised to see Tommy at the door. “Forgot my key,” he said. “Forgot your birthday too.” He pulled a bunch of roses from behind his back.

“Oh, Tommy,” I cried. “I love flowers!”

1.The writer felt embarrassed getting her first roses because 　　　　 .

A.she wasn’t a member of leading dancers.

B.she thought her success wasn’t big enough.

C.she regarded the flowers as a milestone in her life.

D.she found herself standing on the center of the stage.

2.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A.The father made the writer happy by giving her a party.

B.The father was proud of the writer in her growth stages.

C.The father didn’t leave the family money for important things.

D.The father bought the writer flowers when she got angry with him.

3.Tommy came back again, mainly to 　　　　 .

A.take back his keys. B.show his love for flowers.

C.encourage his mother. D.bring his mother birthday gift.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Love in Bloom. B.Father and Me.

C.Pleasure and Embarrassment. D.Father’s Flowers.

Tenzing left his home when he was ten to work and help his mother，who was looking after their 2-acre ancestral farm after his father’s death. He did temporary jobs for the first few years and then joined a Malaysian construction firm，where he learnt to drive，repair machines, work on the Internet and even speak English fluently.

“In those 13 years，I learnt everything—driving, mechanic work，and how to set up a small factory. This made me gain much confidence to do almost all jobs,” says Tenzing.

However, as his mother was getting older, on December 12, 2006, Tenzing returned to his hometown in Assam. Having visited several farms, he came to know that tea could be easily exported and many tea companies were buying tea; so he also decided to grow tea on his farm. But as his family had never grown tea，he had no idea how to do it.

Being a layman (外行）in this field, Tenzing went to meet with many tea experts and followed their instructions. But whenever he sprayed pesticide (农药）on his farm, he’d get a headache and feel indisposed. So he started looking for alternatives, Tenzing did his research online and finally in 2007, he connected with people from a Canadian non-governmental organization and invited them to his farm, where they trained him. Thus, Tenzing started growing tea organically.

Today Tenzing has 25 acres of land, in which 7.5 acres is used for tea planting, and he grows almost all types of fruits and vegetables. His success inspired many, and farmers from other parts of the country also started coming to his farm to learn organic farming. He has trained about 30,000 farmers so far. Every year almost 100 tourists visit his farm from various parts of the world like the UK, Australia, Germany, etc.

1.What can we know about Tenzing?

A. He was mistreated at a young age.　　 B. He lived a happy childhood.

C. He received much formal education.　　 D. He had great learning ability.

2.Why did Tenzing want to grow tea on his farm?

A. Tea sold very well at　　 that　　 time.　　 B. His mother　 was　　 getting older.

C. His land was best for tea growth.　　 D. He was tired of temporary jobs.

3.What does the underlined word “indisposed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Unfair.　　 B. Motivated

C. Uncomfortable.　　 D. Touched.

4.Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?
